In order to consistently strive for maximum environmental sustainability of our production, we decided to change the way of palletizing our products and resign from stretch film. That is why, as one of the first and few, we introduce palletizing with paper in SILBO.
The paper we use in palletizing comes from responsible sources (is certified in the FSC system) and is fully recyclable. Recycling it is the highest form of recycling after use. Compared to the commonly used stretch film (from virgin raw materials), the paper we have chosen has a carbon footprint that is 62% lower. These calculations were made based on the GHG Protocol, assuming the consumption of 840 g of paper per Euro-pallet and 400 g of stretch film per Euro-pallet.
At the same time, we invariably ensure stabilization and protection of goods during transport and storage. The paper used by SILBO provides adequate protection for the product and has successfully passed the transport safety test (according to EUMOS standards).
This is another decisive step by SILBO in its pursuit of maximizing environmental sustainability in our production. After optimizing the energy of the machine park, switching to renewable energy sources, adopting a product strategy based on eco-design, the time has come to reject the stretch film. And this is not our last word.
SILBO's partner supplying paper for palletizing and the initiator of the "StretchWrap" project is MONDI, a global leader in packaging and paper, with which SILBO has been building cooperation based on innovation for years. Now we are implementing new palletizing standards together, boldly setting the direction of sustainability in the supply chain.
